I just took the picture the labour for putting this together was done by the guys setting up the nationals.

is that really the correct image for what the sport is?

What do you mean? We don't get to drive around in tanks and blow s*%t up?

I heard that was built in somebody's garage over the winter, must be a huge garage

Actually, the body and the turret had to be taken out of the garage separately. There was only about two inches to spare on each side of the garage door when the body came out.

When I was a kid, the Army Navy Vets branch had a Dominion Day float that was Sherman tank-like. No one died looking at it. IMHO, that tank motif is effective and not offensive. Advertising is about recognition. If the club has a clean and positive image, and they get positive acknowledgment, then their marketing has been successful.

As for another image of IPSC, the sight of a rigged out shooter leaning into a modified handgun, just doesn't have a meaningful association to most people.

Best float ever.

After the shoot what will be done to the float / props ?? Sold ?? Kept by club ??

Would make a great display item for an army surplus store or gunshop i think .........
